Basically i spent all day today settin up my new tank, the fish were gettin to big for the 16 gallon tank they were in, and i reunited the little black fish and the frog with the other 3, anyways im really happy they have a lot more space now, so over crouding shouldnt be an issue now

i picked some expensive hobbies to have.....lol

Nice to see another aquatic hobbyist on here! That's an albino African clawed frog. I had two of them when I was younger. Pretty funny to watch eat (they just shovel anything that smells like food toward their mouth with their front legs). Absolute terrors when they get big and start eating fish, though. He obviously won't be able to eat the goldfish, but he'll surely try if they get close enough.

I've always been a fan of fish. Had them all my life. I currently have a 75 gallon in-wall, but I'm upgrading to a 180 gallon and putting that in its place. Both are saltwater. Let's not even get started on how expensive salties and corals are (not to mention lighting and all the other equipment)...ugh. Haha.

I feel ya on the expensive hobbies part. I have too many.

Monsters!!!I like how it appears that they lick their fingers when they're done. That bloated albino startled me!

I have no doubt in my mind that if they could physically do it, they would attempt to eat a person. At the very least a small child.
